Carlos P. Martinez, a member of the DPW HVAC/Metal Section in the Southern Range, was recognized for his initiative and dedication and for exceeding expectations during the installation of a new gutter system at the Frontier Club.

Mike Trapp, Commercial Sponsorship Coordinator with DFMWR, raised over $85K in sponsorship for the 35th annual Bataan Memorial Death March.
